Hello yall I am building a custom cage for my brother and newly unwanted sister in law Searched the forums couldn't really find the answers I was looking for. Two quick questions.

One : What's everyone think about using a heat panel for a BP. I have one for the chondro and it works fine but being a aboreal snake it's great for it. I have freedom breeder racks for my BP's and other's. Just wondering if everyone suggests belly heat. I am trying to make this cage look clean so the newly unwanted sister in law doesn't complain that it look's "tacky". her description of the boaphile cage. Nothing against the boaphile crew.

Two : Sealing the cage for humidity and etc. I have seen some cages with tile and some with vinyl. Is there a sealant to use to place over the stain. That's not going to harm the BP not seap through etc. Again trying to make this a clean and non "tacky" cage.

Thank's all
